a real problem i see online is that people think when we criticize democrats we're criticizing them personally and it's like, my dude you're just some guy online. you're not in their club and you're not responsible for a damn thing the party does. so chill

Can we, like, not get angry at 5k subs channels trying to survive on youtube? Having an inflammatory implication in thumbnail and title is what youtube DEMANDS of you if you want to grow your channel in any way Like I get the anger but also it's an okay video? With multiple modern games mentioned?

It's that time of the year in gamedev!!! Yes. The time when we talk about crunch, yet again, because some out-of-touch exec had a bad take about it and everyone that has been in the trenches agrees they're wrong and newcomers need to not fall for it. Crunch is a failure of management. Pass it on.

Anglosphere is such an amazing place, looking up words because you don't know the meaning looks silly only to someone who never tried learning any language besides their mother tongue Incredible self-report from that random X The CSAM account and anyone liking the post, in my opinion

The only reason crunch exists in gamedev Is because the people who would be fired for incompetence in any other industry get to claim success of the team as their own doing It your team crunches it means the game exists in spite of your managerial incompetence, not because of it

Infinite genocide on CEOs

"Move fast and break things," say the people who, in an uncanny coincidence, are responsible for breaking the entire planet at a terrifying speed.

Michael, Larian's Head of Publishing, who refuses to leave nazi website with on-demand CSAM, uses "Based" in his lexicon in the big 2026 Draw your own conclusions

Seeing how many outlets, unlike Kotaku, only post that quote without the part where Swen shows his whole ass and says "Yeah, we will still use it, tee-hee", shows who believes AI is okay as long as Larian is doing it What sort of sleazy bitch-ass loser do you have to be to cut the quote like that

No way! A GACHA developer studio is opening their AI department???? Why would they do something so unethical and fucked up???? Were there any signs that they are terrible people focused on nothing but making a profit??????

The true Carmack's talent turned out to be not his programming skills but ability to be the most consistently dumb fucking cunt to ever plague the world of game development No one comes close, not even Blow

What fascinates me is Americans getting angry that people yell at them, no sanctions no travel ban, no consequences whatsoever and they still bitch about it Insane entitlement to behold as a russian citizen in immigration about to celebrate 4 years of being second-class for actions I had no part in

If only there existed some tool to protect you from the Furries Ruining Your Life, but alas, we aren't on a website with blocklists, are we

I understand that Mike isn't CEO of The Gamer, but there's something deeply ironic about having a floating "Summarise this article with AI" side-bar next to your article about how AI is annoying and invasive in everything surrounding us

After roughly 10 hours of playing Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon, I have to wonder why the fuck Avowed got so much bad rep and "not a real RPG" crowbcat-like videos while that pile of fetch-quest garbage is praised Gamers truly should be oppressed into never voicing their opinion again

Soooooo are Americans going to experience even a fracture of sanctions I experience every day because president I didn't choose wanted a war or are they going to get infinite empathy? Can't wait to find out!

I can promise you this, if you call any game with the trappings of the JRPG tradition a 'Clair Obscur-like' or similar, you will not see the kingdom of heaven. I will make sure of it

Absolute peak for free

Confession#1

Hey remember when a bunch of kiwifarms-adjacent guys opened a bunch of seemingly well-meaning blocklists like "Nazis" and such only to start adding trans folks to them when they gained traction? Thanks for destroying another great tool!

After working under women CEO who's calling the shots, it's fascinating just how easy it is to explain a lot of pro-worker proposed changes to our internal policies because she has a child and understands how incredibly hard it is to juggle career and parenting

having blusky's set to make you click-through to see anything flagged as "adult content" is great, because it's like a little surprise present. 90% of the time its an anime girl in a bikini the remaining 10% someone is trying to insert an entire washing machine into their ass

The only gene those bozos keep spreading is male baldness pattern one

There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team at @dogubomb.bsky.social. It is the result of eight years of development, fuelled by imagination and creativity, and we are extremely proud of what Tonda has achieved.

There are living, breathing, seemingly real human beings here that say Blue Prince used AI. Their source? This piece of shit of an article If you are among them please cease attending the internet and go back to kindergarten, you failed as a human being www.escapistmagazine.com/news-indie-g...

Oh hey look, it's more balls and integrity than in the entire history of TGA’s existence

America is a deeply unserious country, look at the amount of advertisement for sports betting here Loser stuff

Avellone bringing up Kreia, a character he wrote 20 years ago, Is one of the funniest bits he has That character is pure-ass both-sidism centrist loser shit that is neither novel or interesting and since then Chris failed to write anything but that same centrist bit for the rest of his career

Dude who doesn't work in your department or even remotely understands how you do your job: "Yeah so this is how you should use AI"

Dying laughing that there's lots of big guys in games complaining about how games are too big and thats why they're struggling or championing for AI but it literally is your job as a director to direct a game you can make with the team you have, sorry you're bad at it I guess lmfao

We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch. We had BG3. We had "Best Community Support". We had everything we needed. You could've shut your mouth, refused AI, fired the fascists and sexual harrasers and had as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But no, you just had to blow it up.

not to be glib but a lot of discussions about AI will be solved very quick if you just become communist

Amazing things are happening with Swen's account over at the nazi website

i wish every CEO using AI a very get hit by a car

The power dynamic of demanding your employees immigrate to another country for the privilege of slaving for your studio while weighing their work visa against any complaints they might have about the management is one of the thousand cuts that will eventually destroy the industry as we know it

"Flesh out PowerPoint presentations" is an incredibly funny tell because not a single soul outside of C-level ever cared about the quality of internal presentations "Oh no, the slide that no one will ever open again it's not flashy enough" said no one who has actual work to do

Amount of AAA-adjacent people who keep writing the same "Should I play the other 32" joke about Clair Obscur explains a lot about overall state of the industry

Josh hits it.

My game awards take is that Expedition 33 winning all those nominations will make industry worse because suits running it are genetically incapable of understanding what made it click with so many people

Putting Jonathan Blow back in the public eye is among Geoff Keighley's worst crimes

Geoff is happy to allow a well-known harasser of the industry members, but can't acknowledge Future Class

With the current discourse on how Steam doesn't moderate reviews, I feel it's a good time to revive this conversation. Earlier this year they quietly enabled the 'helpfulness system' that ends up highlighting negative reviews at the top, while hiding the positive. This has been terrible for indies.

This is why hating and mocking AI relentlessly and publicly is vital work.

Can't wait to see how steam glazers Will justify that one

One thing I'm fascinated about with losers like Asmongold is how they have nothing outside of streaming and getting angry When camera is off and stream is done what are they doing with their life? I've never seen them excited about anything, it's not even a shallow life, they just don't live
